Japan is a lot more darker and violent than we know

[MasterKeyX]

I heard that the vast majority in Japan don't want a regular miltary. Many fear that imperialism will rise again.

Every, yes, EVERY country on earth has it's underworld. There's a mafia of some sort that has quite a bit of power in 75% of major countries. And there are sick people everywhere. Japan has it's fair share for sure. Ever hear of the Otaku killer, Tsutomu Miyazaki? To quote Wikipedia...

Between 1988 and 1989, Miyazaki mutilated and killed four girls, ages four to seven; he then sexually molested their corpses and ate portions of his third and fourth victims. The crimes — which, prior to Miyazaki's apprehension and trial were classified "The Little Girl Murders" — shocked Saitama Prefecture, which had a long-standing record of low occurrences of crimes against children.

During the day, Miyazaki was a mild-mannered, quiet, obedient employee. He selected children to kill randomly. He terrorized the families of his victims, sending them letters recalling in graphic, yet mechanical, detail what he had done to their children. To the family of victim Erika Namba, Miyazaki sent a morbid postcard assembled using words cut out of magazines, spelling out: "Erika. Cold. Cough. Throat. Rest. Death."

He allowed the corpse of his first victim, Mari Konno, to decompose in the hills near his home, then chopped off the hands and feet, which he kept in his closet, and which were recovered upon his arrest. He charred the remaining bones in his furnace, ground them into powder, and sent them to her family in a box, along with several of her teeth, photos of her clothes, and a postcard reading: "Mari. Cremated. Bones. Investigate. Prove."

Yeah, there are lots of messed up people in this world.

Buy my bro said that one of his books saod that Japan was the most honest (or sumut like that) in the world.

[Mysterious F.]

Well, that only means that they're honest. That doesn't mean it's a good nation (not that I'm saying it isn't), they could be honest about anything.

Yeah, yeah, Japan is not the Utopia some people (want to) believe. I've heard enough about its not-so-pretty parts. Ranging from videogames that seriously are sick as hell to actual events I just can't imagine really happen(ed).

Then again, I would only be kidding myself if I'd think "that stuff" only happens in Japan (or better, Asia). I mean, just looking at 2006 here in the Netherlands, a lot of sick things happened. And so did in the rest of the world. Japan is not perfect, and the same goes for the rest of the world and to be honest, the future isn't looking too bright in my opinion.

[MasterKeyX]

Well, yeah, if we don't get off our a**es and do something about the world, nothing will ever change. But to say it'll pnly get worse is pessimistic.

This is our world. WE have the power to chan ge it for the better, or totally mess it up. Wed just gotta have faith things will get better as time goes on.

[TP Zelda]

Well, I mean, that it said something like, "Someone stole from a store, but felt so guilty he retuned the stolen item" I don't remember excactly. :-\
